Rose finally got to her 1st home...She looked for the key well hidden in the usual place,although nobody was in that house since they moved.'Why didn't we sell it?',she asked herself but she couldn't remember.She opened the door and got inside.It was all as she remembered it,only with mountains of dust covering everything.She let her bag fall on the floor causing lots and lots of dust flying all around her.She coughed a few times and then looked around.She went upstairs and opened the door that kept closed all of her happy times...She saw a pic of her in the kindergarten while playing with her friend Alice...She wished she had her with her now so she could hug her and cry on her shoulder...She wished Michael was there too...But she knew it was better to try to forget him,it was too much pain and too many lies!She lay on her old lil' kama and started dreaming...Meanwhile,Michael found the address after a long driving and went to the door,knocked but nobody answered.He tried to open the door but it was locked.Then,he tried to climb on a puno nearby and look inside.There he found a girl sitting on her bed,sleeping.He went back to the door and insisted until someone came and opened the door for him."Michael!",Rose sinabi as she stared at him shocked."How did you find me,are you stalking me?"."No,Rose,listen,I went to your house and I found this.",he sinabi ipinapakita her the picture he has found.He showed her the address from the back of it."Come inside.",she sinabi defeated as she made her way to the kusina making herself some tea."Want some tea?",she politely asked him."Yeah,if you don't mind.",he sinabi as if they just met.She brought the tsaa 10 minutos later and it was hot,so she couldn't avoid any of his tanong sa pamamagitan ng drinking it."Rose,please,try to understand me,I never meant to..."."Michael made a break and Rose completed his sentence:"...kill my parents."."No!Rose,I never meant for any of these to happen,Tala,Mark,your parents,everything is just so wrong!I wish I never asked for her help back then!I wish I never..."."But you did Michael and it's too late now.",Rose sinabi coldly.Her emotions disappeared in the presence of her broken puso and mixed feelings about Michael and everything actually..."Rose...Trust me,if I could do anything..."."But you can't and it's too late Michael,it's too late for them and for us too!Please,just...leave me alone!",she sinabi while tears started to fall down her cheeks and ended up in her hot tea.Michael hated seeing her suffering so much because of his stupid actions,in that very moment all he wanted was to either die either help her!He put his hand on her shoulder and tried to comfort her,he knew if he'd try to hug her she'd reject him and he couldn't madala to feel that again,it was already enough what he was feeling now..."Rose,listen to me,look at me.I may have caused your miserable life from now but I can try and give you your little Paradise back,if you'd just let me try...".She couldn't take it anymore,she fell in his arms crying even harder,unable to control herself as she was trying to speak through her sobs:"Michael,you don't understand,you can't understand!I pag-ibig you so much but I can't let you be around me and hurt me so much anymore!I need your hugs madami than air but I'll just have to live without you!".And with that said,she got up but suddenly the lights went out...She hardly lit up some old candles and placed them on the mesa from the living room,next to the cups of tea.They haven't noticed how late it was or that outside was a rough storm which would kill Michael if he tried to drive back home.He had to stay there...She suddenly ran out and tried to find a place to hide,with no explanation whatsoever...Michael followed her and brought her inside sa pamamagitan ng force,carrying her,because she could catch a cold but won't listen to him!"Rose,you have to go to bed,it's late.",Michael sinabi after he brought her in her room.Then he went to another room and lay on the kama too,thinking...He got under the covers and turned off the lights.He started to dream about how it was back when things were all right with them...He could still feel the warmth of her body...But he actually felt it...He turned to see Rose crawling under the covers susunod to him cuddling up to him and shaking.He turned and asked her:"What are you doing?"."You know I'm scared of thunders...",she sinabi looking away.He smiled at her childish behavior he loved so much and hugged her close."Don't worry,I'm here...",he whispered halik her forehead."I know...",she sinabi halik him softly on the lips...Soon,they fell asleep and found themselves in that magical place where only true pag-ibig can exist...They met in their dreams and once again their spirits made love...
The susunod araw Rose woke up and didn't find Michael there.She suddenly heard a knock on the door and said:"Come in.".Michael said:"I need some help here,please!".She got up and opened the door for her and saw Michael with a tray in his hands and on it was her breakfast."Michael,you didn't have to..."."Yes,Rose,I had to,you obviously caught a cold,it's 1 a.m. and you just woke up!So,let me take care of you,please?".She sat on the kama and ate,but she didn't like donuts so she wouldn't eat it.He took a piece of it with the fork and put it in her mouth and she surprisingly loved them!"What did you put in them?"."Ice cream.",he answered."Wow,I never thought donuts and ice cream could taste so good!And to think I hated donuts 'till now!Thanks,Michael.".She kissed him on the cheek.
Things seemed to get better and better for them,Michael could feel that she was slowly starting to forgive him, but not fast enough for him to become too close to her...
But what he completely forgot was that this story wasn't over yet...Mark wasn't going to give up on Rose so quickly, he had a plan in mind and that involved Tala too...Although Mark had no one to help him anymore,he sneaked in Tala's place and estola a little potion that she estola from his kastilyo a few years ago, a potion that can make you invincible.Needless to say that he was caught and was about to fight for it, but Tala tried to trick him, since she had no power left to fight.She told him:"If you really need this,then answer this question:why can't she forgive him?".He thought about it for a few seconds, then said:"Because she is only a human being.".Tala didn't expect this wise answer and was therefore forced to give him the potion,but secretly kept a part of it hidden for Michael.Mark left and soon she headed to Michael and Rose.
She knocked and they were really surprised to see her."Tala,why are you here?",Rose asked."First of all,may I come in?This can not be discussed here.".Rose let her in and Tala found Michael working on a song.When he saw her, his eyes opened wide and he was a bit scared,knowing that she never came to bring any good news."What happened?",he said."I am here to warn you that Mark managed to get one of my potions that can make you invincible and I believe he is headed nowhere but here.I kept a part of it for you too,but it's dangerous.I don't know whether or not he knows the weakness of someone who drinks this,so I'll tell you now.The person who uses this potion shall have the strength of a god and the weakness of a heart.This means that whoever drinks it can defeat anyone but the one he/she really loves.A slap from the beloved one and the person loses the power immediately."."So, you think that if I drink this and Rose slaps me,I have to drink it again?"."I think she means that if Mark drinks it and I slap him, he must drink it again.",Rose said."Exactly my dear!",Tala said."Tala,what's with this new vocabulary,you sound unusual...",Rose said."Really?I never noticed.",Michael said."Well,it happens that I came across some old diaries and I had to read them,so these words will be heard for at least a few weeks from now.",Tala explained."Let's get back to the subject.So,Tala,you say that when Mark comes and drinks the potion,I have to drink it too,fight for a while and then find a was for Rose to slap him?",Michael asked."She can hit him in any way,so she can just manuntok him in the feet and he will lose his powers.Then,you can hit him and kill him."."It's too much death in here...I need to get some tea,I'll be right back.",Rose sinabi as she headed to the kitchen.
Michael and Tala kept talking about it and after half an oras they realized Rose wasn't coming back..."I'll go check on Rose, maybe she's crying again.",Michael said.Tala nodded and he went in the kitchen.But Rose was nowhere to be found.He realized it must have been Mark so he ran outside without a word just to find her in the tree, sleeping...He smiled and got to her,took her in his arms and headed inside."Where was she?",Tala asked."She was sleeping in the puno outside."."Then,you should wake her up,it's almost time for the battle,I can feel Mark really close to this place.".Michael did as she said,only that Rose wasn't waking up!"Is she dead?!",Michael asked scared while desperately shaking Rose and slapping her face easily.Tala went to her and touched her forehead."No,she's just...".She stopped in horror."What is it?",Michael asked terrified.Tala looked out the window and saw Mark smiling."Sleeping...",she muttered to herself,but Michael heard her."Then why isn't she waking up?!",he asked desperately not taking his eyes off of Rose."Because she doesn't want to.",a familiar voice said...
